Enola Holmes 3 tops Netflix movie chart with 21 M views

The third installment of Netflix's "Enola Holmes" franchise premiered on July 1, 2026, and immediately claimed the top spot on the streamer's global movie chart. The film, starring Millie Bobby Brown as the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, tallied 20.7 million views in its first five days of availability. Despite this strong debut, early data suggests the film's opening performance has not matched the level of its immediate predecessor.

"Enola Holmes 2," which debuted in November 2022, amassed approximately 29.3 million views in its first three days. Analysts note that when comparing equivalent five-day periods, the new film's launch represents a significant decline in initial audience interest. The latest film's opening also trailed recent Netflix premieres like "Voicemails for Isabelle," which drew 31 million views in its first weekend, and was on par with the launch of "Office Romance."

The new sequel sees Brown's detective preparing to marry Lord Tewkesbury, played by Louis Partridge, when her brother Sherlock, portrayed by Henry Cavill, is kidnapped, drawing her into another mystery. The film arrives four years after the second installment.
